Writing books sounded better than something like "pieces of literature," as the list includes novellas, plays, short story collections, etc. But, yeah, some favorite albums included, too. Oh, and only work per author, unless the name is Kurt Vonnegut or William Faulkner. List is kind of ranked, but I enjoy a lot of these equally, just in different ways, and I primarily read classic lit.

I preferred the first half but yeah it's a must read Zak - apparently there's a curse as whenever they try to cast ignatius the actor dies before they start filming. John Belushi, John Candy, etc. think they were lining up the beardy dude from the hangover but he might have seen the history and bottled it

Yeah, I really the the Plague. Come to think of it, I may prefer it, too. The only Camus I couldn't get into was the Fall. I had to force myself to finish that one, but I do want to give it another chance since it's been a couple of years.
